Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pulse can't be heard by using a BP cuff and stethoscope because these devices are used to measure the heartbeat and blood pressure of the body. Digital monitors display both blood pressure and heart rate, but you can determine the pulse by checking your pulse by using hand while on the other hand, heartbeats can easily be heard using a good stethoscope so we can say that pulse can't be heard through BP cuff and stethoscope.
